[Ananke]

Cmon Pedro, let's have it.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

It's today? Haven't these things always happened on Fridays?

 

[Lay]

It's today? Haven't these things always happened on Fridays?

That's what I thought. Usually before the CL group stage draw?

Anyway, didn't Sevilla win it the last time these two teams contested the Super cup?

 

[JamesB__]

Neymar injured?

 

[prarek]

Krohn-Dehli and Konoplyanka are great signings for Sevilla. N'Zonzi is sick but Konoplyanka should play a part, he was immense in Europe last season. Also interested to see how Immobile does but Gameiro will probably be first choice. They also did well to hold onto Krychowiak, he would have been a massive loss and was probably their best player last season. For Barcelona we have the usual suspects.

note: Gameiro is not a new signing btw.

 

[clarkydaz]

is this like a charity shield thing?

 

[thejtrain]

is this like a charity shield thing?

CL winner v. Europa winner, so I would say so.

 

[Moonred]

Neymar injured?

Yes. Mumps. More of a viral, but yeah.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Apparently Sevilla's squad had an outbreak of salmonella infection after a barbeque. They claim to have no defenders fit.

Believe N'Zonzi is ill as well, assume from the same incident.
